Disrupting the canonical TGFβ-pathway in Smad2;3ScxCre mutants did not result in joint contractures. Conversely, disrupting the BMP pathway by targeting BMP receptors (Alk3ScxCre/Alk6null) recapitulated many features of the Smad4ScxCre contracture phenotype, suggesting that joint contracture in Smad4ScxCre mutants is caused by disruption of BMP signaling. Overall, these results establish a model of murine postnatal joint contracture and a role for BMP signaling in tendon elongation and extracellular matrix accumulation. Narrow-band
